Under the new campaign, Atlas Copco has pledged to donate one tree to WeForest, an international non-profit association, for every VSD compressor kilowatt it sells, and two trees for every VSD+ compressor kilowatt. The Stockholm-based company will donate a further 10 trees for every compressor sold with integrated energy recovery.
Atlas Copco has already given the campaign a head-start by donating the prize money it received from its recent sustainability award to WeForest, resulting in 14,500 trees, and its target is to plant 550 acres of forest after six months.
“Atlas Copco believes in conducting business in a manner that preserves the environment for future generations,” said Koen Lauwers, vice-president marketing from the industrial air division. “With this campaign, we go one step further. We don’t just want to preserve nature – we want to create it.”
The campaign involves all Atlas Copco VSD and VSD+ compressors ranging from 5-90kW. Certificates will be given to all contributors.
